2025 Lucid Gravity Touring Review: The Sweet Spot of the Electric SUV Segment

When Lucid Motors first disrupted the luxury EV landscape with the Air sedan, it proved that efficiency and elegance weren’t mutually exclusive. Now, the California-based automaker is applying that same engineering philosophy to the three-row SUV market with the Lucid Gravity. While the flagship models often grab headlines with four-digit horsepower figures, the Gravity Touring emerges as perhaps the most rational—yet still remarkably potent—entry in the lineup.

Lucid claims a 0–60 time of 4.0 seconds for the Touring, a figure that would have been supercar territory just a decade ago. In the context of the modern EV arms race, it sits just behind the Grand Touring and the 1,000+ hp Air variants, but the real-world performance gap feels narrower than the spec sheet suggests. The Gravity Touring feels extremely fast, delivering gobs of power on demand at any speed, making highway merging and overtaking maneuvers effortless despite the vehicle’s substantial footprint.

Managing that performance is a chassis that belies the vehicle’s roughly 5,200-pound curb weight. The optional three-chamber air suspension is the star of the show here, striking a sophisticated balance between plush ride quality and disciplined body roll control. It effectively isolates the cabin from road imperfections without making the vehicle feel floaty or disconnected. The steering is equally impressive—precise and naturally weighted whether you’re navigating a tight parking lot or cruising at interstate speeds.

Inside, the Gravity leans into its mission as a premium family hauler. The cockpit features a unique steering wheel design that some might say gives off Austin Allegro vibes due to its shape, but the overall aesthetic is undeniably modern. The middle row offers generous accommodations, and when the rear seats are folded flat, the interior volume becomes cavernous, offering van-like space for cargo.

Stopping power is handled by serious hardware: six-piston Brembo-built front calipers paired with massive 15-inch rotors. On twisty roads, the Gravity displays surprising talent, managing elevation changes and gravel patches with composure. Interestingly, the regenerative braking system remains quite assertive; even when the throttle-closed regen is technically switched off, the Gravity still slows markedly, suggesting a baseline level of energy recovery is always at play.

Visually, the Touring trim is nearly identical to its more expensive siblings. Our test vehicle featured the optional Supernova Bronze metallic paint, which, when paired with the standard Stealth Appearance package and flat-sided wheels, gives the Gravity a broad-shouldered, premium presence. The design is aerodynamically optimized without appearing experimental, utilizing an illuminated front fascia and an expansive glass roof to maintain a cohesive, modern look. While it doesn’t hide its 5,200 lbs, the Gravity wears its mass with a sense of purpose and high-end polish that sets it apart in an increasingly crowded luxury EV market.
